Decided to make a post about a recent poster that I made for a movie a friend of mine wants to make.

I don’t have much insight about the story or his ideas on the movie. All I know is that he would play the protagonist (main character), an English man, and a friend of his would play the antagonist (secondary/opposite character), a Russian man. The idea about the poster was to make it in a ‘Sin-City style’. I am not a professional when it comes to graphic design and all that, but I do possess a very good knowledge of Photoshop, so I fiddled around with some photos of my friend and his mate, which I took at his home. As a final thing I decided to cut out both of them and paste them onto a city landscape, which wanted to create again from cut-outs.

For the final design I used a few blend mode changes and some easy filters applied to each layer, in order to give it that harsh black and white ‘sin-city’ look. Also I had to adjust the size of each layer, in order to have some sense of dimension. That was the hardest part of all for me – to adjust the size of each cut-out using the free transform, perspective and warp edit tools and move tool.

All the pros and going to start criticising I’m sure, but I don’t care, I did this for fun :) Enjoy!

Sin-City poster #2 (with text)
The original title is NOT going to be “BRATVA (Brotherhood)”.
I added this, because in my head that is how I pictured the characters and the story.
